So my son's father has a beautiful name, but he goes by his NN. However loved the name before meeting him because it is a character out of my favourite book. I got a first name for my son and for different reasons I couldn't use some other nice middle names. However his father's name meets all the criteria. BUT his Dad and I aren't together, he has never met his son and doesn't want to be involved (although he said he wants to meet him, but I doubt that). We aren't really in contact, as soon as the Child support is through, I can cut off the ties. I am just feeling bit insecure about using his name as my son's middle name. When I think about the name, I first think about the character's name, as said before his Dad usus his Nickname (e.g. Ben instead of Benjamin). Does it seem to weird? I just really have a connection to this name. Thanks for your input :)
